Cognac Soft Leather Hobo Bag

From the same Brera dealer as the lilac — a small Coach Soho Lynn in a colour that the seller flagged as one of the rarer ones she'd seen in years. A warm, gently reddish cognac with that lit-from-within quality only good calfskin holds.

The body is supple, the silhouette has the right amount of slouch, and the silver hardware on the signature buckle is unmarked. A small, soft, easy bag — fits a hand under the arm, suits everything from denim to camel coats. Body and lining both clean; no peeling, no edge wear worth mentioning.

The smaller Soho Lynn is the one collectors actually fight over. Less common than the large, easier to wear with a jacket on, and in this colour it does the work of three other bags in the wardrobe.
